Our Army At War #61 p 5 (Pre-Sgt. Rock Large Art Battle Page With Nazi Plane & Skiing Soldier Battle!) 1957

Check out early twice-up 1957 DC all out battle page, which was penciled and inked by the great Russ Heath, which is about as iconic as it gets when it comes to Pre Silver Age DC War comics. This page features a Nazi aerial dogfight and a Nazi skiing battle? What’s not to love? We all know Heath could draw anything, but his aviation art really stands out, and this being a great example of Heath's early work on the title. And yes that’s staining on the bottom tier, but the inked art is still clearly visible. This early Our Army at War page, the sun takes center stage in "Battle Sun", as the suns role in war battles is the focus of this backup story. The War genre was very successful for DC in the 50s going into the 60s and Russ Heath was the guiding visionary behind the line. Despite Heath’s prolific output on "Our Army at War", his early original art on the title remains quite scarce. Created in twice-up scale in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 13" x 19.25" (including the stat paste-up header). Mild toning, edge and corner wear, marginal notes, and heavy staining in the bottom tier. ALL art on our website (including this one) are able to be purchased with VERY fair time payments, and trades are always considered towards "ANY" art on our website!
